Watching the news is fascinating this morning. The FBI is warning of armed protests in all 50 states. There are more troops in DC than in all of Afghanistan (including an Air Guard fighter squadron). Massachusetts is putting on an explicit "show of force" (quoting channel 5) at the statehouse today. Random MA reps are giving hyperventilating interviews about supposed threats. The National Guard is investigating the troops they have in DC out of worries about "insider attacks".
What does it say when the purported leaders of the country are this afraid of the citizenry? Has the government lost all ability to motivate people that exclude the use of fear?
